>> sinners sin because they are sinners.
00:00:15.672 --> 00:00:19.209
We're not sinners because we sin.
00:00:19.209 --> 00:00:22.278
We are sinners because adam sinned.
00:00:22.278 --> 00:00:24.647
But at the same token, this is the divine unfairness:
00:00:24.647 --> 00:00:28.017

I can tell you're real serious about your study. you're very persistent
00:02:55.064 --> 00:02:56.232
About your study. you're very persistent but not defensive.
00:02:56.299 --> 00:02:57.400
You're very persistent but not defensive. you're not unkind if someone
00:02:57.467 --> 00:02:58.635
But not defensive. you're not unkind if someone doesn't agree with you;
00:02:58.701 --> 00:02:59.836
You're not unkind if someone doesn't agree with you; you're never unkind.
00:02:59.902 --> 00:03:01.070
Doesn't agree with you; you're never unkind. you seem to be willing
00:03:01.137 --> 00:03:02.205
You're never unkind. you seem to be willing to be sharpened
00:03:02.272 --> 00:03:03.573
You seem to be willing to be sharpened with iron sharpening iron.
00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:04.707
To be sharpened with iron sharpening iron. i don't see you
00:03:04.774 --> 00:03:05.875
With iron sharpening iron. i don't see you ever being resistant to truth
00:03:05.942 --> 00:03:07.076
I don't see you ever being resistant to truth or correction.
00:03:07.143 --> 00:03:08.311
Ever being resistant to truth or correction. because some people think,
00:03:08.378 --> 00:03:09.612
Or correction. because some people think, if a person comes out
00:03:09.679 --> 00:03:10.680
Because some people think, if a person comes out with a strong message
00:03:10.747 --> 00:03:11.848
If a person comes out with a strong message and it's really getting
00:03:11.914 --> 00:03:13.082
With a strong message and it's really getting momentum and blessing,
00:03:13.149 --> 00:03:14.284
And it's really getting momentum and blessing, we seem to feel obliged that
00:03:14.350 --> 00:03:15.652
Momentum and blessing, we seem to feel obliged that we've got to knock it back
00:03:15.718 --> 00:03:16.786
We seem to feel obliged that we've got to knock it back or knock them down
00:03:16.853 --> 00:03:17.954
We've got to knock it back or knock them down or knock them off.
00:03:18.021 --> 00:03:19.022
Or knock them down or knock them off. if you're real good
00:03:19.088 --> 00:03:20.189
Or knock them off. if you're real good church folks,
00:03:20.256 --> 00:03:21.424
If you're real good church folks, we'll just knock them off --
00:03:21.491 --> 00:03:22.625
Church folks, we'll just knock them off -- do god's work!
00:03:22.692 --> 00:03:23.860
We'll just knock them off -- do god's work! and the thing is,
00:03:23.926 --> 00:03:25.128
Do god's work! and the thing is, joseph's spirit has been
00:03:25.194 --> 00:03:26.396
And the thing is, joseph's spirit has been so much like yielded clay.
00:03:26.462 --> 00:03:27.630
Joseph's spirit has been so much like yielded clay. and i want to ask you because
00:03:27.697 --> 00:03:28.765
So much like yielded clay. and i want to ask you because i've never heard the story,
00:03:28.831 --> 00:03:29.999
And i want to ask you because i've never heard the story, a lot of viewers may wonder.
00:03:30.066 --> 00:03:31.167
I've never heard the story, a lot of viewers may wonder. tell me how it is --
00:03:31.234 --> 00:03:32.402
A lot of viewers may wonder. tell me how it is -- because i know
00:03:32.468 --> 00:03:33.636
Tell me how it is -- because i know you weren't in ministry,
00:03:33.703 --> 00:03:34.804
Because i know you weren't in ministry, i know you were exposed
00:03:34.871 --> 00:03:35.972
You weren't in ministry, i know you were exposed to christian witness
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:37.173
I know you were exposed to christian witness and influence,
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:38.341
To christian witness and influence, how is it that you fell
00:03:38.408 --> 00:03:39.609
And influence, how is it that you fell so in love with jesus,
00:03:39.676 --> 00:03:40.677
How is it that you fell so in love with jesus, so in love with his word,
00:03:40.743 --> 00:03:41.944
So in love with jesus, so in love with his word, and had such a yearning
00:03:42.011 --> 00:03:44.380
So in love with his word, and had such a yearning to share it with others
00:03:44.447 --> 00:03:45.481
And had such a yearning to share it with others with such a freedom
00:03:45.548 --> 00:03:46.749
To share it with others with such a freedom and such a flow of love.
00:03:46.816 --> 00:03:48.518
With such a freedom and such a flow of love. what happened?
00:03:48.584 --> 00:03:50.086
I'm actually a good example
00:03:51.654 --> 00:03:52.722
I'm actually a good example of the message that i preach,
00:03:52.789 --> 00:03:53.890
Of the message that i preach, the gospel of grace,
00:03:53.956 --> 00:03:55.091
The gospel of grace, which i believe is the gospel
00:03:55.158 --> 00:03:57.260
Which i believe is the gospel and that's how
00:03:57.327 --> 00:03:58.428
That god has sent him
00:04:00.396 --> 00:04:01.631
That god has sent him to testify the gospel
00:04:01.698 --> 00:04:02.765
That god has sent him to testify the gospel of the grace of god.
00:04:02.832 --> 00:04:04.100
To testify the gospel of the grace of god. when i was about 17 years old
00:04:04.167 --> 00:04:05.501
Of the grace of god. when i was about 17 years old i read a christian book
00:04:05.568 --> 00:04:09.138
When i was about 17 years old i read a christian book and it's no reflection
00:04:09.205 --> 00:04:10.306
I read a christian book and it's no reflection of the book
00:04:10.373 --> 00:04:11.641
And it's no reflection of the book but somewhere along the way
00:04:11.708 --> 00:04:12.742
Of the book but somewhere along the way i just believed that --
00:04:12.809 --> 00:04:13.843
But somewhere along the way i just believed that -- something in the teaching
00:04:13.910 --> 00:04:15.778
I just believed that -- something in the teaching that says that i've committed
00:04:15.845 --> 00:04:17.580
Something in the teaching that says that i've committed the unpardonable sin
00:04:17.647 --> 00:04:19.115
That says that i've committed the unpardonable sin because i had no control
00:04:19.182 --> 00:04:21.417
The unpardonable sin because i had no control over my thought life.
00:04:21.484 --> 00:04:24.487
Because i had no control over my thought life. and the more i was afraid
00:04:24.554 --> 00:04:26.122
Over my thought life. and the more i was afraid of the thoughts that were
00:04:26.189 --> 00:04:27.457
And the more i was afraid of the thoughts that were going through my mind,
00:04:27.523 --> 00:04:28.658
Of the thoughts that were going through my mind, the more those blasphemous
00:04:28.725 --> 00:04:30.626
Going through my mind, the more those blasphemous thoughts about god,
00:04:30.693 --> 00:04:32.228
The more those blasphemous thoughts about god, even when i go to church
00:04:32.295 --> 00:04:33.396
Thoughts about god, even when i go to church in prayer.
00:04:33.463 --> 00:04:34.564
Even when i go to church in prayer. and that began a cycle
00:04:34.630 --> 00:04:36.532
In prayer. and that began a cycle of depression in my life
00:04:36.599 --> 00:04:38.067
And that began a cycle of depression in my life as a 17-year-old
00:04:38.134 --> 00:04:39.402
Of depression in my life as a 17-year-old for more than a year.
00:04:39.469 --> 00:04:40.970
As a 17-year-old for more than a year. i just came to a place
00:04:41.037 --> 00:04:42.438
For more than a year. i just came to a place where i really thought
00:04:42.505 --> 00:04:43.639
I just came to a place where i really thought i had committed
00:04:43.706 --> 00:04:44.807
Where i really thought i had committed the unpardonable sin;
00:04:44.874 --> 00:04:47.276
I had committed the unpardonable sin; god wasn't hearing my prayers.
00:04:47.343 --> 00:04:48.478
The unpardonable sin; god wasn't hearing my prayers. i was confessing my sins;
00:04:48.544 --> 00:04:49.746
God wasn't hearing my prayers. i was confessing my sins; every sin that
00:04:49.812 --> 00:04:51.013
I was confessing my sins; every sin that i knew how to confess
00:04:51.080 --> 00:04:52.882
Every sin that i knew how to confess and even if it appears
00:04:52.949 --> 00:04:54.283
I knew how to confess and even if it appears like a sin,
00:04:54.350 --> 00:04:55.418
And even if it appears like a sin, even as a temptation,
00:04:55.485 --> 00:04:56.619
Like a sin, even as a temptation, i would confess it.
00:04:56.686 --> 00:04:57.787
Even as a temptation, i would confess it. if i look
00:04:57.854 --> 00:04:58.955
I would confess it. if i look at a young pretty girl
00:04:59.021 --> 00:05:00.189
If i look at a young pretty girl and it's not even
00:05:00.256 --> 00:05:01.324
At a young pretty girl and it's not even the second look,
00:05:01.391 --> 00:05:02.525
And it's not even the second look, i would confess it.
00:05:02.592 --> 00:05:03.826
The second look, i would confess it. [laughter]
00:05:03.893 --> 00:05:04.927
I would confess it. [laughter] my friends would look at me
00:05:04.994 --> 00:05:06.129
[laughter] my friends would look at me kind of like messed up.
00:05:06.195 --> 00:05:07.363
My friends would look at me kind of like messed up. someone would say,
00:05:07.430 --> 00:05:08.498
Kind of like messed up. someone would say, "i think it is his religion."
00:05:08.564 --> 00:05:09.665
Someone would say, "i think it is his religion." when i heard that
00:05:09.732 --> 00:05:11.067
"i think it is his religion." when i heard that i began to realize
00:05:11.134 --> 00:05:12.301
When i heard that i began to realize i wasn't a good testimony.
00:05:12.368 --> 00:05:13.870
I began to realize i wasn't a good testimony. where is this robust faith?
00:05:13.936 --> 00:05:15.405
I wasn't a good testimony. where is this robust faith? where is this joy unspeakable?
00:05:15.471 --> 00:05:16.973
Where is this robust faith? where is this joy unspeakable? where is this peace
00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:18.307
Where is this joy unspeakable? where is this peace that passes understanding
00:05:18.374 --> 00:05:19.609
Where is this peace that passes understanding that the bible talks about?
00:05:19.675 --> 00:05:23.246
That passes understanding that the bible talks about? a number of years after that
00:05:23.312 --> 00:05:24.714
That the bible talks about? a number of years after that i was in the cycle
00:05:24.781 --> 00:05:27.116
A number of years after that i was in the cycle of depression,
00:05:27.183 --> 00:05:28.918
I was in the cycle of depression, the lord brought me
00:05:28.985 --> 00:05:30.420
Of depression, the lord brought me to an experience where
00:05:30.486 --> 00:05:31.587
The lord brought me to an experience where i was crying out to him.
00:05:31.654 --> 00:05:32.722
To an experience where i was crying out to him. the depression lasted
00:05:32.789 --> 00:05:33.890
I was crying out to him. the depression lasted for more than a year
00:05:33.956 --> 00:05:35.024
The depression lasted for more than a year but it was only
00:05:35.091 --> 00:05:36.192
For more than a year but it was only a few years after that
00:05:36.259 --> 00:05:37.527
But it was only a few years after that that i found my true liberty
00:05:37.593 --> 00:05:38.928
A few years after that that i found my true liberty back in the rediscovery
00:05:38.995 --> 00:05:40.062
That i found my true liberty back in the rediscovery of the gospel
00:05:40.129 --> 00:05:41.297
Back in the rediscovery of the gospel that paul preached.
00:05:41.364 --> 00:05:43.499
Of the gospel that paul preached. it's a gospel where
00:05:43.566 --> 00:05:45.034
That paul preached. it's a gospel where when paul preached in acts 13
00:05:45.101 --> 00:05:47.370
It's a gospel where when paul preached in acts 13 he says that through this man
00:05:47.437 --> 00:05:49.405
When paul preached in acts 13 he says that through this man is preached to you
00:05:49.472 --> 00:05:50.740
He says that through this man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins.
00:05:50.807 --> 00:05:51.974
Is preached to you the forgiveness of sins. and by him all that believe
00:05:52.041 --> 00:05:53.309
The forgiveness of sins. and by him all that believe are justified from all things
00:05:53.376 --> 00:05:55.645
And by him all that believe are justified from all things from which you couldn't be
00:05:55.711 --> 00:05:56.879
Are justified from all things from which you couldn't be justified by the law of moses.
00:05:56.946 --> 00:05:58.848
From which you couldn't be justified by the law of moses. so i realized that
00:05:58.915 --> 00:06:00.149
Justified by the law of moses. so i realized that the more self-occupied i was,
00:06:00.216 --> 00:06:01.717
So i realized that the more self-occupied i was, the more i was thinking about,
00:06:01.784 --> 00:06:02.919
The more self-occupied i was, the more i was thinking about, am i obedient enough?
00:06:02.985 --> 00:06:03.953
The more i was thinking about, am i obedient enough? are my thoughts right
00:06:04.020 --> 00:06:05.154
Am i obedient enough? are my thoughts right towards god?
00:06:05.221 --> 00:06:06.355
Are my thoughts right towards god? am i saying this right?
00:06:06.422 --> 00:06:07.490
Towards god? am i saying this right? am an exaggerating?
00:06:07.557 --> 00:06:08.658
Am i saying this right? am an exaggerating? am i lying?
00:06:08.724 --> 00:06:09.792
Am an exaggerating? am i lying? the more i was self-occupied
00:06:09.859 --> 00:06:11.060
Am i lying? the more i was self-occupied the worse it was.
00:06:11.127 --> 00:06:12.595
The more i was self-occupied the worse it was. but the more
00:06:12.662 --> 00:06:13.629
The worse it was. but the more i was christ-occupied
00:06:13.696 --> 00:06:15.064
But the more i was christ-occupied and i realized
00:06:15.131 --> 00:06:16.199
I was christ-occupied and i realized in first john 4:17,
00:06:16.265 --> 00:06:17.834
And i realized in first john 4:17, that verse rescued me:
00:06:17.900 --> 00:06:19.702
In first john 4:17, that verse rescued me: as he is --
00:06:19.769 --> 00:06:21.871
That verse rescued me: as he is -- as he is so are we.
00:06:21.938 --> 00:06:23.573
As he is -- as he is so are we. not when we die
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:24.974
As he is so are we. not when we die and go to heaven --
00:06:25.041 --> 00:06:26.242
Not when we die and go to heaven -- but so are we in this world.
00:06:26.309 --> 00:06:27.777
And go to heaven -- but so are we in this world. as he is
00:06:27.844 --> 00:06:28.878
But so are we in this world. as he is so are we in this world.
00:06:28.945 --> 00:06:30.746
As he is so are we in this world. and then the lord
00:06:30.813 --> 00:06:32.148
So are we in this world. and then the lord began to show the truth
00:06:32.215 --> 00:06:33.449
And then the lord began to show the truth about the high priest --
00:06:33.516 --> 00:06:34.517
Began to show the truth about the high priest -- as he is.
00:06:34.584 --> 00:06:35.718
About the high priest -- as he is. is he under god's
00:06:35.785 --> 00:06:36.886
As he is. is he under god's unclouded favor?
00:06:36.953 --> 00:06:38.221
Is he under god's unclouded favor? the holy spirit says, "yes."
00:06:38.287 --> 00:06:39.455
Unclouded favor? the holy spirit says, "yes." so are you in this world.
00:06:39.522 --> 00:06:40.556
The holy spirit says, "yes." so are you in this world. is he accepted by god?
00:06:40.623 --> 00:06:41.757
So are you in this world. is he accepted by god? i said, "yes."
00:06:41.824 --> 00:06:42.892
Is he accepted by god? i said, "yes." so are you in this world.
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:44.293
I said, "yes." so are you in this world. will he ever
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:45.428
So are you in this world. will he ever be rejected by god?
00:06:45.495 --> 00:06:46.929
Will he ever be rejected by god? so are you in this world!
00:06:46.996 --> 00:06:48.931
Be rejected by god? so are you in this world! i got radical about that
00:06:48.998 --> 00:06:50.266
So are you in this world! i got radical about that because it delivered me
00:06:50.333 --> 00:06:51.367
I got radical about that because it delivered me from self.
00:06:51.434 --> 00:06:52.602
Painful things that you
00:06:53.903 --> 00:06:54.937
Painful things that you can experience in life
00:06:55.004 --> 00:06:56.239
Can experience in life is not just physical,
00:06:56.305 --> 00:06:57.406
Is not just physical, is not so much physical pain
00:06:57.473 --> 00:06:58.975
Is not so much physical pain as it is being self-occupied
00:06:59.041 --> 00:07:00.009
As it is being self-occupied to the extent
00:07:00.076 --> 00:07:01.143
To the extent that you're self-occupied --
00:07:01.210 --> 00:07:02.178
That you're self-occupied -- to that extent
00:07:02.245 --> 00:07:03.279
But to be christ-occupied,
00:07:04.714 --> 00:07:06.015
But to be christ-occupied, oh, that's a radiant life.
00:07:06.082 --> 00:07:08.217
But to be christ-occupied, oh, that's a radiant life. that is a life full of
00:07:08.284 --> 00:07:09.485
Oh, that's a radiant life. that is a life full of love, joy, and peace.
00:07:09.552 --> 00:07:10.653
That is a life full of love, joy, and peace. i began to preach that.
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:11.821
Love, joy, and peace. i began to preach that. but i remember, i got married,
00:07:11.888 --> 00:07:14.390
I began to preach that. but i remember, i got married, and jessica came along.
00:07:14.457 --> 00:07:18.094
But i remember, i got married, and jessica came along. you learn about
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:19.128
And jessica came along. you learn about a father's love
00:07:19.195 --> 00:07:20.296
You learn about a father's love when you see
00:07:20.363 --> 00:07:21.497
A father's love when you see your cute little baby.
00:07:21.564 --> 00:07:23.366
When you see your cute little baby. i remember when she was
00:07:23.432 --> 00:07:24.834
Your cute little baby. i remember when she was three years old she fell sick
00:07:24.901 --> 00:07:26.736
I remember when she was three years old she fell sick with a viral attack.
00:07:26.802 --> 00:07:29.272
Three years old she fell sick with a viral attack. i prayed, i rebuked,
00:07:29.338 --> 00:07:31.207
With a viral attack. i prayed, i rebuked, i cussed it out,
00:07:31.274 --> 00:07:33.142
I prayed, i rebuked, i cussed it out, i prayed it in;
00:07:33.209 --> 00:07:34.443
I cussed it out, i prayed it in; i did everything i knew how.
00:07:34.510 --> 00:07:36.612
I prayed it in; i did everything i knew how. and she was sick like
00:07:36.679 --> 00:07:38.014
I did everything i knew how. and she was sick like about two or three days.
00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:39.348
And she was sick like about two or three days. it went on for a few days.
00:07:39.415 --> 00:07:40.683
About two or three days. it went on for a few days. and she was experiencing
00:07:40.750 --> 00:07:41.984
It went on for a few days. and she was experiencing high fever and all that.
00:07:42.051 --> 00:07:43.052
And she was experiencing high fever and all that. you know how a father's heart
00:07:43.119 --> 00:07:44.086
High fever and all that. you know how a father's heart feels for her.
00:07:44.153 --> 00:07:45.221
You know how a father's heart feels for her. i remember
00:07:45.288 --> 00:07:46.455
Feels for her. i remember that i came to a place
00:07:46.522 --> 00:07:47.590
I remember that i came to a place where i went to my study.
00:07:47.657 --> 00:07:48.891
That i came to a place where i went to my study. i told my wife,
00:07:48.958 --> 00:07:50.026
Where i went to my study. i told my wife, "you attend to her.
00:07:50.092 --> 00:07:51.327
I told my wife, "you attend to her. i need to get this from god."
00:07:51.394 --> 00:07:52.495
"you attend to her. i need to get this from god." i went to my study.
00:07:52.562 --> 00:07:53.596
I need to get this from god." i went to my study. i knelt down.
00:07:53.663 --> 00:07:54.931
I went to my study. i knelt down. i said, "god, please --"
00:07:54.997 --> 00:07:55.998
I knelt down. i said, "god, please --" i was weeping.
00:07:56.065 --> 00:07:57.266
I said, "god, please --" i was weeping. i said, "god, please.
00:07:57.333 --> 00:07:58.501
I was weeping. i said, "god, please. i've prayed,
00:07:58.568 --> 00:07:59.602
I said, "god, please. i've prayed, i've done everything
00:07:59.669 --> 00:08:00.870
I've prayed, i've done everything i know how.
00:08:00.937 --> 00:08:02.138
I've done everything i know how. i don't want
00:08:02.204 --> 00:08:03.272
I know how. i don't want to see her suffer."
00:08:03.339 --> 00:08:04.407
I don't want to see her suffer." i saw my bible there
00:08:04.473 --> 00:08:05.541
To see her suffer." i saw my bible there and the lord said,
00:08:05.608 --> 00:08:06.742
I saw my bible there and the lord said, "pick up your bible."
00:08:06.809 --> 00:08:07.977
And the lord said, "pick up your bible." and i just took my bible
00:08:08.044 --> 00:08:09.178
"pick up your bible." and i just took my bible and opened it at random,
00:08:09.245 --> 00:08:10.313
And i just took my bible and opened it at random, which is a practice
00:08:10.379 --> 00:08:11.414
And opened it at random, which is a practice i don't advocate...
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:12.615
Which is a practice i don't advocate... [laughter]
00:08:12.682 --> 00:08:13.783
I don't advocate... [laughter] ...with a special anointing,
00:08:13.849 --> 00:08:15.117
[laughter] ...with a special anointing, i guess.
00:08:15.184 --> 00:08:16.352
...with a special anointing, i guess. but i opened it to genesis 22
00:08:16.419 --> 00:08:17.587
I guess. but i opened it to genesis 22 where it talks about abraham
00:08:17.653 --> 00:08:18.754
But i opened it to genesis 22 where it talks about abraham offering his son isaac.
00:08:18.821 --> 00:08:19.989
Where it talks about abraham offering his son isaac. then i just got lost
00:08:20.056 --> 00:08:21.057
Offering his son isaac. then i just got lost in the story how god said,
00:08:21.123 --> 00:08:22.458
Then i just got lost in the story how god said, "now take your son,
00:08:22.525 --> 00:08:23.693
In the story how god said, "now take your son, your only son,
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:24.894
"now take your son, your only son, the son that you love,"
00:08:24.961 --> 00:08:26.162
Your only son, the son that you love," and i felt like
00:08:26.228 --> 00:08:27.330
The son that you love," and i felt like god was really pushing it.
00:08:27.396 --> 00:08:28.331
And i felt like god was really pushing it. "take now your son,
00:08:28.397 --> 00:08:29.832
God was really pushing it. "take now your son, your only son,
00:08:29.899 --> 00:08:31.100
"take now your son, your only son, the son that you love
00:08:31.167 --> 00:08:32.301
Your only son, the son that you love and offer him on the mountain
00:08:32.368 --> 00:08:33.436
The son that you love and offer him on the mountain that i will show you."
00:08:33.502 --> 00:08:34.570
And offer him on the mountain that i will show you." i began to see that
00:08:34.637 --> 00:08:35.671
That i will show you." i began to see that here is a picture of christ,
00:08:35.738 --> 00:08:38.407
I began to see that here is a picture of christ, that god would offer his son,
00:08:38.474 --> 00:08:40.810
Here is a picture of christ, that god would offer his son, his only son,
00:08:40.876 --> 00:08:42.178
That god would offer his son, his only son, the son that he loves.
00:08:42.244 --> 00:08:43.879
His only son, the son that he loves. because we'll never know
00:08:43.946 --> 00:08:45.247
The son that he loves. because we'll never know how much god loves us
00:08:45.314 --> 00:08:47.116
Because we'll never know how much god loves us until we know how much
00:08:47.183 --> 00:08:49.018
How much god loves us until we know how much god loves jesus because
00:08:49.085 --> 00:08:50.353
Until we know how much god loves jesus because he gave jesus up for us.
00:08:50.419 --> 00:08:52.355
God loves jesus because he gave jesus up for us. when i read that,
00:08:52.421 --> 00:08:53.756
He gave jesus up for us. when i read that, i got lost in the love of god.
00:08:53.823 --> 00:08:55.057
When i read that, i got lost in the love of god. i saw on the cross --
00:08:55.124 --> 00:08:56.192
I got lost in the love of god. i saw on the cross -- i began to see how jesus wept
00:08:56.258 --> 00:08:57.893
I saw on the cross -- i began to see how jesus wept and cried and suffered
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:00.830
I began to see how jesus wept and cried and suffered for our forgiveness.
00:09:00.896 --> 00:09:02.298
And cried and suffered for our forgiveness. and he cried, "my god, my god,
00:09:02.365 --> 00:09:04.266
For our forgiveness. and he cried, "my god, my god, why have you forsaken me?"
00:09:04.333 --> 00:09:06.235
And he cried, "my god, my god, why have you forsaken me?" it's the only time jesus
00:09:06.302 --> 00:09:07.903
Why have you forsaken me?" it's the only time jesus ever addressed his father
00:09:07.970 --> 00:09:09.305
It's the only time jesus ever addressed his father as "my god"
00:09:09.372 --> 00:09:10.640
Ever addressed his father as "my god" so that we can address god
00:09:10.706 --> 00:09:13.075
As "my god" so that we can address god as "my father."
00:09:13.142 --> 00:09:15.044
So that we can address god as "my father." so that we can say,
00:09:15.111 --> 00:09:16.612
As "my father." so that we can say, "my father, my father,
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:17.913
So that we can say, "my father, my father, why have you so blessed me?"
00:09:17.980 --> 00:09:20.116
"my father, my father, why have you so blessed me?" so i got lost in
00:09:20.182 --> 00:09:21.317
Why have you so blessed me?" so i got lost in that beautiful story.
00:09:21.384 --> 00:09:22.518
So i got lost in that beautiful story. and i saw how isaac
00:09:22.585 --> 00:09:23.686
That beautiful story. and i saw how isaac carried the wood,
00:09:23.753 --> 00:09:24.854
And i saw how isaac carried the wood, just like jesus carried
00:09:24.920 --> 00:09:26.022
Carried the wood, just like jesus carried the cross up that mount
00:09:26.088 --> 00:09:27.189
Just like jesus carried the cross up that mount and how god stopped abraham,
00:09:27.256 --> 00:09:28.391
The cross up that mount and how god stopped abraham, the pangs of killing his son.
00:09:28.457 --> 00:09:32.194
And how god stopped abraham, the pangs of killing his son. god never spared himself.
00:09:32.261 --> 00:09:34.897
The pangs of killing his son. god never spared himself. when he came to it,
00:09:34.964 --> 00:09:36.766
God never spared himself. when he came to it, god spared not his own son.
00:09:36.832 --> 00:09:38.100
When he came to it, god spared not his own son. so i saw that god gave up
00:09:38.167 --> 00:09:39.268
God spared not his own son. so i saw that god gave up the son that he loved for me.
00:09:39.335 --> 00:09:42.338
So i saw that god gave up the son that he loved for me. and all of the sudden
00:09:42.405 --> 00:09:44.006
The son that he loved for me. and all of the sudden when i felt that love of god,
00:09:44.073 --> 00:09:45.241
And all of the sudden when i felt that love of god, now i began to weep;
00:09:45.307 --> 00:09:46.342
When i felt that love of god, now i began to weep; not because of my daughter,
00:09:46.409 --> 00:09:47.543
Now i began to weep; not because of my daughter, who was still crying
00:09:47.610 --> 00:09:48.644
Not because of my daughter, who was still crying at the other side,
00:09:48.711 --> 00:09:49.812
Who was still crying at the other side, but the moment i wept
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:51.047
At the other side, but the moment i wept and felt god's love,
00:09:51.113 --> 00:09:52.381
But the moment i wept and felt god's love, her crying stopped.
00:09:52.448 --> 00:09:53.616
And felt god's love, her crying stopped. she's been crying for
00:09:53.683 --> 00:09:54.950
Her crying stopped. she's been crying for like two or three days
00:09:55.017 --> 00:09:56.085
She's been crying for like two or three days almost nonstop.
00:09:56.152 --> 00:09:57.353
Like two or three days almost nonstop. and i went over
00:09:57.420 --> 00:09:58.487
Almost nonstop. and i went over and she was sound asleep.
00:09:58.554 --> 00:09:59.822
And i went over and she was sound asleep. and when she woke up
00:09:59.889 --> 00:10:00.856
And she was sound asleep. and when she woke up she was completely well.
00:10:00.923 --> 00:10:02.091
And when she woke up she was completely well. it wasn't something
00:10:02.158 --> 00:10:03.325
She was completely well. it wasn't something i prayed for, asked for,
00:10:03.392 --> 00:10:04.493
It wasn't something i prayed for, asked for, but i began to experience
00:10:04.560 --> 00:10:05.761
I prayed for, asked for, but i began to experience amazing things.
00:10:05.828 --> 00:10:07.029
But i began to experience amazing things. and i began to realize,
00:10:07.096 --> 00:10:08.297
Amazing things. and i began to realize, when people experience
00:10:08.364 --> 00:10:09.665
It cast out their fears,
00:10:11.567 --> 00:10:13.169
It cast out their fears, it frees them from guilt.
00:10:13.235 --> 00:10:15.771
It frees them from guilt. i think that jesus came
00:10:15.838 --> 00:10:17.773
I think that jesus came to reveal that name father.
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:19.241
To reveal that name father. i petition the names of god,
00:10:19.308 --> 00:10:21.010
All that is fine
00:10:24.613 --> 00:10:25.748
All that is fine but there is one name
00:10:25.815 --> 00:10:26.982
All that is fine but there is one name that he came to reveal.
00:10:27.049 --> 00:10:28.250
But there is one name that he came to reveal. and he says,
00:10:28.317 --> 00:10:29.418
That he came to reveal. and he says, "i have manifested thy name
00:10:29.485 --> 00:10:30.586
And he says, "i have manifested thy name to my disciples
00:10:30.653 --> 00:10:31.754
"i have manifested thy name to my disciples and that's the name father."
00:10:31.821 --> 00:10:33.355
To my disciples and that's the name father." that's why the pharisees
00:10:33.422 --> 00:10:35.224
And that's the name father." that's why the pharisees could not take it because
00:10:35.291 --> 00:10:36.692
That's why the pharisees could not take it because he made god so close --
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:37.927
Could not take it because he made god so close -- god so near.
00:10:37.993 --> 00:10:39.161
He made god so close -- god so near. he made it family.
00:10:39.228 --> 00:10:40.796
God so near. he made it family. james: well, you're being
00:10:40.863 --> 00:10:42.465
He made it family. james: well, you're being such a blessing.
00:10:42.531 --> 00:10:43.599
James: well, you're being such a blessing. i love this girl
00:10:43.666 --> 00:10:44.967
Such a blessing. i love this girl that's here by me.
00:10:45.034 --> 00:10:46.135
I love this girl that's here by me. joseph: yeah,
00:10:46.202 --> 00:10:47.303
That's here by me. joseph: yeah, she is beautiful!
00:10:47.369 --> 00:10:48.471
Joseph: yeah, she is beautiful! easy to love!
00:10:48.537 --> 00:10:49.638
She is beautiful! easy to love! james: when you talked to me
00:10:49.705 --> 00:10:50.840
Easy to love! james: when you talked to me on the phone.
00:10:50.906 --> 00:10:51.974
James: when you talked to me on the phone. joseph: you make her
00:10:52.041 --> 00:10:53.075
On the phone. joseph: you make her look very young!
00:10:53.142 --> 00:10:54.243
Joseph: you make her look very young! [laughter]
00:10:54.310 --> 00:10:58.914
James: this is my daughter!
00:10:59.014 --> 00:11:01.984
James: this is my daughter! joseph: i'm sorry!
00:11:02.051 --> 00:11:03.519
James: this is my daughter! joseph: i'm sorry! betty: he takes
00:11:03.586 --> 00:11:05.054
Joseph: i'm sorry! betty: he takes good care of me!
00:11:05.121 --> 00:11:06.455
Betty: he takes good care of me! james: you said something
00:11:06.522 --> 00:11:07.690
Good care of me! james: you said something very sweet about her
00:11:07.757 --> 00:11:08.924
James: you said something very sweet about her and if you say something nice
00:11:08.991 --> 00:11:10.192
Very sweet about her and if you say something nice about our children
00:11:10.259 --> 00:11:11.260
Or our grandchildren
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:12.528
Or our grandchildren or about my wife,
00:11:12.595 --> 00:11:13.829
Or our grandchildren or about my wife, it really touches me.
00:11:13.896 --> 00:11:15.030
Or about my wife, it really touches me. i have an idea that
00:11:15.097 --> 00:11:16.132
It really touches me. i have an idea that when somebody is able
00:11:16.198 --> 00:11:17.299
I have an idea that when somebody is able to say something really nice
00:11:17.366 --> 00:11:18.501
When somebody is able to say something really nice about jesus' bride, and
00:11:18.567 --> 00:11:20.002
To say something really nice about jesus' bride, and about the father's children,
00:11:20.069 --> 00:11:22.772
About jesus' bride, and about the father's children, it really makes him happy.
00:11:22.838 --> 00:11:24.440
About the father's children, it really makes him happy. you commented that
00:11:24.507 --> 00:11:26.208
It really makes him happy. you commented that you see jesus in this girl?
00:11:26.275 --> 00:11:27.977
You commented that you see jesus in this girl? joseph: yes!
00:11:28.043 --> 00:11:29.211
You see jesus in this girl? joseph: yes! every time
00:11:29.278 --> 00:11:30.312
Joseph: yes! every time i watch your program,
00:11:30.379 --> 00:11:31.680
Every time i watch your program, when i look at betty,
00:11:31.747 --> 00:11:33.415
I watch your program, when i look at betty, it is like i see jesus in her;
00:11:33.482 --> 00:11:35.351
When i look at betty, it is like i see jesus in her; the sweetness,
00:11:35.417 --> 00:11:36.418
It is like i see jesus in her; the sweetness, the love of jesus
00:11:36.485 --> 00:11:37.686
The sweetness, the love of jesus just oozes out of her.
00:11:37.753 --> 00:11:38.988
The love of jesus just oozes out of her. she makes you look good!
00:11:39.054 --> 00:11:40.156
Just oozes out of her. she makes you look good! [laughter]
00:11:40.222 --> 00:11:41.991
She makes you look good! [laughter] james: it's really
00:11:42.057 --> 00:11:43.659
[laughter] james: it's really the only reason they listen.
00:11:43.726 --> 00:11:45.161
James: it's really the only reason they listen. and normally,
00:11:45.227 --> 00:11:46.796
The only reason they listen. and normally, when we get through
00:11:46.862 --> 00:11:48.330
And normally, when we get through doing the show my staff says,
00:11:48.397 --> 00:11:49.765
When we get through doing the show my staff says, "we're going to edit you
00:11:49.832 --> 00:11:51.066
Doing the show my staff says, "we're going to edit you out of that show."
00:11:51.133 --> 00:11:52.268
"we're going to edit you out of that show." [laughter]
00:11:52.334 --> 00:11:53.402
Out of that show." [laughter] betty: you were
00:11:53.469 --> 00:11:54.637
[laughter] betty: you were talking earlier
00:11:54.703 --> 00:11:55.671
Betty: you were talking earlier about your daughter
00:11:55.738 --> 00:11:56.906
Talking earlier about your daughter and how ill she was
00:11:56.972 --> 00:11:58.107
About your daughter and how ill she was and you just kind of went
00:11:58.174 --> 00:11:59.308
And how ill she was and you just kind of went and got alone with god.
00:11:59.375 --> 00:12:00.476
And you just kind of went and got alone with god. i felt like god was saying,
00:12:00.543 --> 00:12:01.477
And got alone with god. i felt like god was saying, "you got lost in him and
00:12:01.544 --> 00:12:02.845
I felt like god was saying, "you got lost in him and you got wrapped up in him."
00:12:02.912 --> 00:12:05.347
"you got lost in him and you got wrapped up in him." that's a choice
00:12:05.414 --> 00:12:06.515
You got wrapped up in him." that's a choice we have to make.
00:12:06.582 --> 00:12:07.716
That's a choice we have to make. we have to really come to him
00:12:07.783 --> 00:12:09.018
We have to make. we have to really come to him and say, "okay, god.
00:12:09.084 --> 00:12:10.186
We have to really come to him and say, "okay, god. i'm at the end of myself,"
00:12:10.252 --> 00:12:11.821
And say, "okay, god. i'm at the end of myself," which is where he is
00:12:11.887 --> 00:12:13.355
I'm at the end of myself," which is where he is waiting for us to get,
00:12:13.422 --> 00:12:14.824
Which is where he is waiting for us to get, the end of ourselves --
00:12:14.890 --> 00:12:16.158
Waiting for us to get, the end of ourselves -- that we get lost in him.
00:12:16.225 --> 00:12:17.426
The end of ourselves -- that we get lost in him. and then god is able to do
00:12:17.493 --> 00:12:18.627
That we get lost in him. and then god is able to do what he's already ready to do
00:12:18.694 --> 00:12:20.162
And then god is able to do what he's already ready to do in us and through us
00:12:20.229 --> 00:12:22.131
What he's already ready to do in us and through us and those that we come
00:12:22.198 --> 00:12:23.432
In us and through us and those that we come in contact with.
00:12:23.499 --> 00:12:24.500
And those that we come in contact with. joseph: that's what
00:12:24.567 --> 00:12:25.768
In contact with. joseph: that's what the power of right believing
00:12:25.868 --> 00:12:27.002
Joseph: that's what the power of right believing is all about.
00:12:27.069 --> 00:12:28.470
The power of right believing is all about. it is about focusing on jesus
00:12:28.537 --> 00:12:30.773
Is all about. it is about focusing on jesus and his obedience.
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.575
It is about focusing on jesus and his obedience. in the scripture it says
00:12:32.641 --> 00:12:34.043
And his obedience. in the scripture it says in romans 5:19:
00:12:34.109 --> 00:12:35.311
In the scripture it says in romans 5:19: by one man's disobedience
00:12:35.377 --> 00:12:36.679
In romans 5:19: by one man's disobedience many were made sinners.
00:12:36.745 --> 00:12:38.814
By one man's disobedience many were made sinners. so that's adam's sin.
00:12:38.881 --> 00:12:40.382
Many were made sinners. so that's adam's sin. by one man's obedience,
00:12:40.449 --> 00:12:42.718
So that's adam's sin. by one man's obedience, many will be made righteous.
00:12:42.785 --> 00:12:46.555
By one man's obedience, many will be made righteous. so sinners sin
00:12:46.622 --> 00:12:48.724
Many will be made righteous. so sinners sin because they are sinners.
00:12:48.791 --> 00:12:50.960
So sinners sin because they are sinners. we're not sinners
00:12:51.026 --> 00:12:52.661
Because they are sinners. we're not sinners because we sin.
00:12:52.728 --> 00:12:54.096
We're not sinners because we sin. we are sinners
00:12:54.163 --> 00:12:55.464
Because we sin. we are sinners because adam sinned.
00:12:55.531 --> 00:12:57.666
We are sinners because adam sinned. so adam's sin made us sinners,
00:12:57.733 --> 00:13:00.035
Because adam sinned. so adam's sin made us sinners, therefore we sin.
00:13:00.102 --> 00:13:01.804
So adam's sin made us sinners, therefore we sin. now by the same token,
00:13:01.871 --> 00:13:03.539
Therefore we sin. now by the same token, it sounds so unfair;
00:13:03.606 --> 00:13:04.707
Now by the same token, it sounds so unfair; doesn't it?
00:13:04.773 --> 00:13:05.875
It sounds so unfair; doesn't it? but by the same token,
00:13:05.941 --> 00:13:07.042
Doesn't it? but by the same token, this is the divine unfairness.
00:13:07.109 --> 00:13:08.210
But by the same token, this is the divine unfairness. by one man's obedience,
00:13:08.277 --> 00:13:10.346
This is the divine unfairness. by one man's obedience, we're made righteous.
00:13:10.412 --> 00:13:12.948
By one man's obedience, we're made righteous. when we believe that
00:13:13.015 --> 00:13:14.984
We're made righteous. when we believe that it does not produce
00:13:15.050 --> 00:13:16.285
When we believe that it does not produce licentiousness,
00:13:16.352 --> 00:13:17.586
It does not produce licentiousness, it produces --
00:13:17.653 --> 00:13:18.787
Licentiousness, it produces -- i always say this:
00:13:18.854 --> 00:13:19.989
It produces -- i always say this: right believing
00:13:20.055 --> 00:13:21.156
I always say this: right believing produces right living.
00:13:21.223 --> 00:13:22.358
Right believing produces right living. how come sometimes
00:13:22.424 --> 00:13:23.559
Produces right living. how come sometimes we have more faith
00:13:23.626 --> 00:13:24.727
How come sometimes we have more faith in what adam has done
00:13:24.793 --> 00:13:25.895
We have more faith in what adam has done than what jesus has done.
00:13:25.961 --> 00:13:27.062
In what adam has done than what jesus has done. for example,
00:13:27.129 --> 00:13:28.230
We knew we were taught,
00:13:29.498 --> 00:13:30.733
We knew we were taught, we were preached to
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:32.001
We were preached to and all that
00:13:32.067 --> 00:13:33.168
And all that that you cannot save yourself
00:13:33.235 --> 00:13:34.370
That you cannot save yourself by good works.
00:13:34.436 --> 00:13:35.604
By good works. only christ can save you.
00:13:35.671 --> 00:13:36.772
Only christ can save you. in other words,
00:13:36.839 --> 00:13:38.107
Was so powerful
00:13:39.408 --> 00:13:40.542
Was so powerful that we cannot undo it
00:13:40.609 --> 00:13:41.710
Was so powerful that we cannot undo it by our good works.
00:13:41.777 --> 00:13:43.112
That we cannot undo it by our good works. no matter what good you do,
00:13:43.178 --> 00:13:44.146
By our good works. no matter what good you do, you are still a sinner.
00:13:44.213 --> 00:13:45.981
No matter what good you do, you are still a sinner. you need to be born again.
00:13:46.048 --> 00:13:47.650
You are still a sinner. you need to be born again. but now that we are saved
00:13:47.716 --> 00:13:48.884
You need to be born again. but now that we are saved and we are made righteous
00:13:48.951 --> 00:13:50.152
But now that we are saved and we are made righteous by that one man's obedience,
00:13:50.219 --> 00:13:51.954
And we are made righteous by that one man's obedience, how come sometimes,
00:13:52.021 --> 00:13:53.656
By that one man's obedience, how come sometimes, when we sin or we fall,
00:13:53.722 --> 00:13:56.325
How come sometimes, when we sin or we fall, they tell us
00:13:56.392 --> 00:13:57.793
When we sin or we fall, they tell us now you are unrighteous,
00:13:57.860 --> 00:13:58.894
They tell us now you are unrighteous, you need to get right.
00:13:58.961 --> 00:14:00.529
Now you are unrighteous, you need to get right. in other words,
00:14:00.596 --> 00:14:01.630
You need to get right. in other words, i can undo what jesus did,
00:14:01.697 --> 00:14:03.799
In other words, i can undo what jesus did, just in one day by one act.
00:14:03.866 --> 00:14:05.901
I can undo what jesus did, just in one day by one act. whereas when i was a sinner
00:14:05.968 --> 00:14:07.269
Just in one day by one act. whereas when i was a sinner i can't even undo
00:14:07.336 --> 00:14:08.437
Whereas when i was a sinner i can't even undo what adam did,
00:14:08.504 --> 00:14:09.705
I can't even undo what adam did, and we're not even talking
00:14:09.772 --> 00:14:10.873
What adam did, and we're not even talking about the "much more"
00:14:10.940 --> 00:14:12.107
And we're not even talking about the "much more" of the book of romans,
00:14:12.174 --> 00:14:13.342
About the "much more" of the book of romans, the "much more"
00:14:13.409 --> 00:14:14.643
Of the book of romans, the "much more" of what jesus has done.
00:14:14.710 --> 00:14:15.844
The "much more" of what jesus has done. we are putting them both
00:14:15.911 --> 00:14:16.979
Of what jesus has done. we are putting them both on the same ground
00:14:17.046 --> 00:14:18.147
We are putting them both on the same ground and we don't even have
00:14:18.213 --> 00:14:19.248
On the same ground and we don't even have enough respect
00:14:19.315 --> 00:14:20.449
And we don't even have enough respect and appreciation
00:14:20.516 --> 00:14:21.850
Enough respect and appreciation for what jesus has done.
00:14:21.917 --> 00:14:25.321
And appreciation for what jesus has done. believing right
00:14:25.387 --> 00:14:27.056
For what jesus has done. believing right will always produce right
00:14:27.122 --> 00:14:28.791
Believing right will always produce right because the essence
00:14:28.857 --> 00:14:30.059
Will always produce right because the essence of the gospel is
00:14:30.125 --> 00:14:31.427
Because the essence of the gospel is the just shall live by faith,
00:14:31.493 --> 00:14:32.661
Of the gospel is the just shall live by faith, or i can say it like this,
00:14:32.728 --> 00:14:33.862
The just shall live by faith, or i can say it like this, the just shall live
00:14:33.929 --> 00:14:35.064
Or i can say it like this, the just shall live by right believing.
00:14:35.130 --> 00:14:36.832
The just shall live by right believing. so that's a lot of preaching
00:14:36.899 --> 00:14:38.367
By right believing. so that's a lot of preaching on right living --
00:14:38.434 --> 00:14:39.568

00:14:41.971 --> 00:14:43.072
And we all want right living but how to get there from here?
00:14:43.138 --> 00:14:44.239
But how to get there from here? right believing?
00:14:44.306 --> 00:14:45.407
From here? right believing? we need to get
00:14:45.474 --> 00:14:46.575
Right believing? we need to get right believing in our hearts
00:14:46.642 --> 00:14:47.743
We need to get right believing in our hearts and our thoughts,
00:14:47.810 --> 00:14:48.911

00:17:44.653 --> 00:17:46.155
Even as we visited briefly, that you'll always remember, no matter what happened,
00:17:46.221 --> 00:17:47.456
That you'll always remember, no matter what happened, jesus kept escaping
00:17:47.523 --> 00:17:48.824
No matter what happened, jesus kept escaping to be only with the father
00:17:48.891 --> 00:17:50.926
Jesus kept escaping to be only with the father because that's where
00:17:50.993 --> 00:17:52.294

You identify with him. i pray you will do that because when you're gifted,

Because when you're gifted, the church can tend to take you beyond
00:17:57.032 --> 00:17:58.333
The church can tend to take you beyond even the father's will.
00:17:58.400 --> 00:17:59.902
To take you beyond even the father's will. he only did
00:17:59.968 --> 00:18:01.503
Even the father's will. he only did what he saw the father doing
00:18:01.570 --> 00:18:02.905
He only did what he saw the father doing and moving in the fullness
00:18:02.971 --> 00:18:04.173
What he saw the father doing and moving in the fullness of time.
00:18:04.239 --> 00:18:05.307
And moving in the fullness of time. so i pray -- would you pray

00:18:17.819 --> 00:18:19.054
All of you something.
00:18:19.121 --> 00:18:20.556
I can't tell you how much
00:18:20.622 --> 00:18:23.125
I want to stop
00:18:23.192 --> 00:18:24.493
The death cycle;
00:18:24.560 --> 00:18:25.761
I've never been able
00:18:25.827 --> 00:18:27.329
To see something that
00:18:27.396 --> 00:18:29.631
I thought we could...
00:18:29.698 --> 00:18:31.066
We could give them something
00:18:31.133 --> 00:18:33.135
And not want to do it.
00:18:33.202 --> 00:18:35.904
Betty: james,
00:18:35.971 --> 00:18:37.172
There are some times
00:18:37.239 --> 00:18:38.373
That we can't do anything
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:39.508
When we see a loved one
00:18:39.575 --> 00:18:41.043
Lose their life.
00:18:41.109 --> 00:18:43.145
There are some times
00:18:43.212 --> 00:18:44.413
When we would do everything
00:18:44.479 --> 00:18:45.647
To save a life
00:18:45.714 --> 00:18:47.249
Of our loved one --
00:18:47.316 --> 00:18:49.151
All the time.
00:18:49.218 --> 00:18:50.619
But yet when you see
00:18:50.686 --> 00:18:51.653
Situations like this,
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:53.722
There's something we can do.
00:18:53.789 --> 00:18:55.657
This mother lost
00:18:55.724 --> 00:18:57.359
Seven children and doesn't
00:18:57.426 --> 00:18:59.027
Know how the other five
00:18:59.094 --> 00:19:01.063
Will make it, james.
00:19:01.129 --> 00:19:02.564
She knows what's killing them,
00:19:02.631 --> 00:19:03.832
It's the water.
00:19:03.899 --> 00:19:05.100
But the only source they have
00:19:05.167 --> 00:19:06.635
Is what she has to give them.
00:19:06.702 --> 00:19:08.637
Please join with us.
00:19:08.704 --> 00:19:10.906
We can make a difference.
00:19:10.973 --> 00:19:12.140
We can do something about this
00:19:12.207 --> 00:19:14.309
If you'll just
00:19:14.376 --> 00:19:15.711
Reach in your heart
00:19:15.777 --> 00:19:16.878
And ask god what he
00:19:16.945 --> 00:19:18.013
Would have you to do.
00:19:18.080 --> 00:19:19.214
We can make the difference
00:19:19.281 --> 00:19:20.582
Between life and death
00:19:20.649 --> 00:19:21.917
In so many of these children.
00:19:21.984 --> 00:19:23.986
James: i'm totally comfortable
00:19:24.052 --> 00:19:27.055
Pleading the cause
00:19:27.122 --> 00:19:28.457
Of the orphan, the widow,
00:19:28.523 --> 00:19:29.858
The hurting, the suffering,
00:19:29.925 --> 00:19:32.227
Because he loves them so much
00:19:32.294 --> 00:19:33.695
-- because i know
00:19:33.762 --> 00:19:34.696
What that feels like.
00:19:34.763 --> 00:19:35.731
I know what it feels like
00:19:35.797 --> 00:19:36.865
To be the one nobody noticed,
00:19:36.932 --> 00:19:39.167
Nobody picked;
00:19:39.234 --> 00:19:41.470
I know what that feels like.
00:19:41.536 --> 00:19:43.272
Don't let anything keep you
00:19:43.338 --> 00:19:45.107
From giving a cup of water
00:19:45.173 --> 00:19:47.676
In jesus' name in love.
00:19:47.743 --> 00:19:51.213
Don't let a busy,
00:19:51.280 --> 00:19:52.781
Don't let anything stop you.
00:19:52.848 --> 00:19:54.283
I'm going to be an answer
00:19:54.349 --> 00:19:57.319
To that woman's heart cry
00:19:57.386 --> 00:19:59.187
And her prayer.
00:19:59.254 --> 00:20:00.522
I'm going to be!

00:20:03.292 --> 00:20:05.460

I want to talk with you about what to do
00:22:06.381 --> 00:22:07.416
About what to do while you wait
00:22:07.482 --> 00:22:08.517
While you wait for the breakthrough.
00:22:08.583 --> 00:22:09.684
For the breakthrough. so often you hear people say,
00:22:09.751 --> 00:22:10.752
So often you hear people say, "i wish there was something
00:22:10.819 --> 00:22:11.887
But there's nothing i can do."
00:22:13.054 --> 00:22:14.022
But there's nothing i can do." well, there's always something
00:22:14.089 --> 00:22:15.056
But there's nothing i can do." well, there's always something you can do.
00:22:15.123 --> 00:22:16.091
Well, there's always something you can do. you can fast, you can pray.
00:22:16.158 --> 00:22:17.125
You can do. you can fast, you can pray. you can remember
00:22:17.192 --> 00:22:18.160
You can fast, you can pray. you can remember what god told you.
00:22:18.226 --> 00:22:19.194
You can remember what god told you. they say remember
00:22:19.261 --> 00:22:20.228
What god told you. they say remember in the darkness
00:22:20.295 --> 00:22:21.263
They say remember in the darkness what he told you in the light.
00:22:21.329 --> 00:22:22.297
In the darkness what he told you in the light. as i study the israelites,
00:22:22.364 --> 00:22:23.298
What he told you in the light. as i study the israelites, i want so much to learn
00:22:23.365 --> 00:22:24.299
As i study the israelites, i want so much to learn from the things they did right
00:22:24.366 --> 00:22:25.300
I want so much to learn from the things they did right and the things
00:22:25.367 --> 00:22:26.301
From the things they did right and the things that they did wrong.
00:22:26.368 --> 00:22:27.302
And the things that they did wrong. i marvel that their complaint
00:22:27.369 --> 00:22:28.336
That they did wrong. i marvel that their complaint and their groan,
00:22:28.403 --> 00:22:29.371
I marvel that their complaint and their groan, their cry to god
00:22:29.438 --> 00:22:31.039
And their groan, their cry to god when they were in slavery
00:22:31.106 --> 00:22:32.274
Their cry to god when they were in slavery in egypt,
00:22:32.340 --> 00:22:33.475
When they were in slavery in egypt, it reached god's ears.
00:22:33.542 --> 00:22:34.509
In egypt, it reached god's ears. he heard their groans,
00:22:34.576 --> 00:22:35.610
It reached god's ears. he heard their groans, he heard their cry,
00:22:35.677 --> 00:22:36.678
He heard their groans, he heard their cry, and he mobilized moses
00:22:36.745 --> 00:22:37.846
He heard their cry, and he mobilized moses to come as their deliverer.
00:22:37.913 --> 00:22:39.381
And he mobilized moses to come as their deliverer. think about this:
00:22:39.448 --> 00:22:40.916
To come as their deliverer. think about this: that they were enslaved
00:22:40.982 --> 00:22:42.350
Think about this: that they were enslaved under backbreaking bondage
00:22:42.417 --> 00:22:45.187
That they were enslaved under backbreaking bondage and then yet scripture says
00:22:45.253 --> 00:22:46.488
Under backbreaking bondage and then yet scripture says when they left egypt
00:22:46.555 --> 00:22:48.123
And then yet scripture says when they left egypt there wasn't a feeble one
00:22:48.190 --> 00:22:49.424
When they left egypt there wasn't a feeble one among them.
00:22:49.491 --> 00:22:50.559
There wasn't a feeble one among them. how is that possible?
00:22:50.625 --> 00:22:51.927
Among them. how is that possible? how is it possible
00:22:51.993 --> 00:22:53.061
How is that possible? how is it possible that some didn't have
00:22:53.128 --> 00:22:54.162
How is it possible that some didn't have parasites and herniated discs
00:22:54.229 --> 00:22:55.297
That some didn't have parasites and herniated discs and arthritis?
00:22:55.363 --> 00:22:56.631
Parasites and herniated discs and arthritis? and how is it that
00:22:56.698 --> 00:22:57.899
And arthritis? and how is it that there wasn't a feeble one
00:22:57.966 --> 00:22:59.601
And how is it that there wasn't a feeble one among them?
00:22:59.668 --> 00:23:00.836
There wasn't a feeble one among them? well, i believe,
00:23:00.902 --> 00:23:01.903
Among them? well, i believe, when they were in their homes
00:23:01.970 --> 00:23:02.904
Well, i believe, when they were in their homes and the blood
00:23:02.971 --> 00:23:04.005
When they were in their homes and the blood was over their mantle,
00:23:04.072 --> 00:23:05.140
And the blood was over their mantle, they were healed.
00:23:05.207 --> 00:23:06.241
Was over their mantle, they were healed. scripture also says
00:23:06.308 --> 00:23:07.309
They were healed. scripture also says they were loaded down
00:23:07.375 --> 00:23:08.477
Scripture also says they were loaded down with the riches
00:23:08.543 --> 00:23:09.611
They were loaded down with the riches of the egyptians.
00:23:09.678 --> 00:23:10.745
With the riches of the egyptians. their enemies loaded them down
00:23:10.812 --> 00:23:11.913
Of the egyptians. their enemies loaded them down with riches.
00:23:11.980 --> 00:23:13.048
Their enemies loaded them down with riches. so they were healed,
00:23:13.114 --> 00:23:14.149
With riches. so they were healed, they were empowered,
00:23:14.216 --> 00:23:15.217
So they were healed, they were empowered, they were equipped,
00:23:15.283 --> 00:23:16.251
They were empowered, they were equipped, and the lord,
00:23:16.318 --> 00:23:17.319
They were equipped, and the lord, by signs and wonders,
00:23:17.385 --> 00:23:18.420
And the lord, by signs and wonders, emancipated them,
00:23:18.487 --> 00:23:19.521
By signs and wonders, emancipated them, led them out of slavery.
00:23:19.588 --> 00:23:20.622
Emancipated them, led them out of slavery. yet, that first generation
00:23:20.689 --> 00:23:22.224
Led them out of slavery. yet, that first generation didn't make it
00:23:22.290 --> 00:23:23.425
Yet, that first generation didn't make it into the promised land
00:23:23.492 --> 00:23:24.626
Didn't make it into the promised land because they were still
00:23:24.693 --> 00:23:25.660
Into the promised land because they were still so captive
00:23:25.727 --> 00:23:26.862
Because they were still so captive to their complaining.
00:23:26.928 --> 00:23:28.129
So captive to their complaining. they still had so much
00:23:28.196 --> 00:23:29.264
To their complaining. they still had so much of that captivity
00:23:29.331 --> 00:23:30.332
They still had so much of that captivity and trauma mindset,
00:23:30.398 --> 00:23:31.366
Of that captivity and trauma mindset, they identified more
00:23:31.433 --> 00:23:32.467
And trauma mindset, they identified more with their hardship
00:23:32.534 --> 00:23:33.568
They identified more with their hardship than they did
00:23:33.635 --> 00:23:34.669
With their hardship than they did with their heavenly father.
00:23:34.736 --> 00:23:35.770
Than they did with their heavenly father. because in hebrews it says:
00:23:35.837 --> 00:23:36.872
With their heavenly father. because in hebrews it says: "the promise
00:23:36.938 --> 00:23:37.973
Because in hebrews it says: "the promise did not benefit them,
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:39.207
"the promise did not benefit them, because when it came
00:23:39.274 --> 00:23:40.609
Did not benefit them, because when it came it wasn't met by faith."
00:23:40.675 --> 00:23:42.177
Because when it came it wasn't met by faith." and so often we fling
00:23:42.244 --> 00:23:43.578
It wasn't met by faith." and so often we fling our prayers up to god,
00:23:43.645 --> 00:23:44.779
And so often we fling our prayers up to god, and then we think
00:23:44.846 --> 00:23:45.881
Our prayers up to god, and then we think there's nothing more
00:23:45.947 --> 00:23:46.948
And then we think there's nothing more we can do,
00:23:47.015 --> 00:23:47.949
There's nothing more we can do, so we do nothing more.
00:23:48.016 --> 00:23:49.117
We can do, so we do nothing more. god is activated
00:23:49.184 --> 00:23:50.151
So we do nothing more. god is activated when we pray;
00:23:50.218 --> 00:23:51.186
God is activated when we pray; he moves when we pray.
00:23:51.253 --> 00:23:52.287
When we pray; he moves when we pray. but when the promise comes,
00:23:52.354 --> 00:23:54.956
He moves when we pray. but when the promise comes, will it be met by faith?
00:23:55.023 --> 00:23:56.825
But when the promise comes, will it be met by faith? i shudder to think
00:23:56.892 --> 00:23:57.959
Will it be met by faith? i shudder to think of how many answers
00:23:58.026 --> 00:23:59.060
I shudder to think of how many answers have found their way
00:23:59.127 --> 00:24:00.228
Of how many answers have found their way back to us,
00:24:00.295 --> 00:24:01.396
Have found their way back to us, but they didn't benefit us
00:24:01.463 --> 00:24:02.397
Back to us, but they didn't benefit us because our hearts
00:24:02.464 --> 00:24:03.532
But they didn't benefit us because our hearts were in the same place
00:24:03.598 --> 00:24:04.633
Uttered the prayer.
00:24:05.867 --> 00:24:06.835
Uttered the prayer. there's always something
00:24:06.902 --> 00:24:07.936
There's always something you can do.
00:24:08.003 --> 00:24:09.070
You can do. and whining and grumbling
00:24:09.137 --> 00:24:10.138
And whining and grumbling and complaining
00:24:10.205 --> 00:24:11.206
And complaining only hardens our heart.
00:24:11.273 --> 00:24:12.274
Only hardens our heart. and it blinds us.
00:24:12.340 --> 00:24:13.341
And it blinds us. i always say ingratitude
00:24:13.408 --> 00:24:14.409
But gratitude,
00:24:15.577 --> 00:24:16.545
But gratitude, which is always
00:24:16.611 --> 00:24:17.612
But gratitude, which is always god's will for us,
00:24:17.679 --> 00:24:18.680
Which is always god's will for us, opens up our spiritual lives.
00:24:18.747 --> 00:24:20.048
God's will for us, opens up our spiritual lives. there's always something
00:24:20.115 --> 00:24:21.116
Opens up our spiritual lives. there's always something you can do while you wait
00:24:21.182 --> 00:24:22.317
There's always something you can do while you wait for your breakthrough.
00:24:22.384 --> 00:24:23.385
You can do while you wait for your breakthrough. start by thanking god.
00:24:23.451 --> 00:24:25.253
For your breakthrough. start by thanking god. someone once said,
00:24:25.320 --> 00:24:26.354
Start by thanking god. someone once said, "if i woke up tomorrow
00:24:26.421 --> 00:24:28.390
Someone once said, "if i woke up tomorrow with only those things
00:24:28.456 --> 00:24:29.424
"if i woke up tomorrow with only those things that i thank god for today,
00:24:29.491 --> 00:24:31.059
With only those things that i thank god for today, what would i have?"
00:24:31.126 --> 00:24:32.861
That i thank god for today, what would i have?" so what if you look around
00:24:32.928 --> 00:24:34.329
What would i have?" so what if you look around at all the blessings
00:24:34.396 --> 00:24:35.564
So what if you look around at all the blessings that you enjoy
00:24:35.630 --> 00:24:36.698
At all the blessings that you enjoy and try to imagine a gift tag
00:24:36.765 --> 00:24:37.866
That you enjoy and try to imagine a gift tag on each of those gifts
00:24:37.933 --> 00:24:39.134
And try to imagine a gift tag on each of those gifts that says "to you, from god."
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:42.170
On each of those gifts that says "to you, from god." because every good gift
00:24:42.237 --> 00:24:43.438
That says "to you, from god." because every good gift comes from god.
00:24:43.505 --> 00:24:44.539
Because every good gift comes from god. start there!
00:24:44.606 --> 00:24:45.574
Comes from god. start there! start by thanking god
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:46.641
Start there! start by thanking god because your eyes will open
00:24:46.708 --> 00:24:47.676
Start by thanking god because your eyes will open to how good he's been
00:24:47.742 --> 00:24:49.411
Because your eyes will open to how good he's been and how good he is being.
00:24:49.477 --> 00:24:51.279
To how good he's been and how good he is being. prepare your heart
00:24:51.346 --> 00:24:52.547
And how good he is being. prepare your heart for the breakthrough.
00:24:52.614 --> 00:24:53.715
Prepare your heart for the breakthrough. i often say he makes us wait
00:24:53.782 --> 00:24:55.250
For the breakthrough. i often say he makes us wait because he's making us ready.
00:24:55.317 --> 00:24:56.918
I often say he makes us wait because he's making us ready. so in the time in between,
00:24:56.985 --> 00:24:58.353
Because he's making us ready. so in the time in between, god is always so strategic,
00:24:58.420 --> 00:25:00.088
So in the time in between, god is always so strategic, the timing of his answers,
00:25:00.155 --> 00:25:01.423
God is always so strategic, the timing of his answers, he has things for you to do.
00:25:01.489 --> 00:25:03.491
The timing of his answers, he has things for you to do. he doesn't want you
00:25:03.558 --> 00:25:04.960
He has things for you to do. he doesn't want you to twiddle your thumbs,
00:25:05.026 --> 00:25:05.994
He doesn't want you to twiddle your thumbs, he doesn't want you to gripe
00:25:06.061 --> 00:25:07.062
To twiddle your thumbs, he doesn't want you to gripe and moan and complain.
00:25:07.128 --> 00:25:08.229
He doesn't want you to gripe and moan and complain. he wants you to worship him.
00:25:08.296 --> 00:25:09.731
And moan and complain. he wants you to worship him. because even
00:25:09.798 --> 00:25:10.865
He wants you to worship him. because even when you can't feel him,
00:25:10.932 --> 00:25:11.967
Because even when you can't feel him, even when you can't sense him,
00:25:12.033 --> 00:25:13.068
When you can't feel him, even when you can't sense him, he's moving.
00:25:13.134 --> 00:25:14.135
Even when you can't sense him, he's moving. if you could peel
00:25:14.202 --> 00:25:15.170
He's moving. if you could peel back the sky
00:25:15.236 --> 00:25:16.171
If you could peel back the sky and see the spiritual realm,
00:25:16.237 --> 00:25:17.305
Back the sky and see the spiritual realm, he's pointing
00:25:17.372 --> 00:25:18.440
And see the spiritual realm, he's pointing and charging his angels to go
00:25:18.506 --> 00:25:19.574
He's pointing and charging his angels to go because his people prayed.
00:25:19.641 --> 00:25:20.675
And charging his angels to go because his people prayed. he's moving on faith.
00:25:20.742 --> 00:25:21.776
Because his people prayed. he's moving on faith. he's rewarding faith.
00:25:21.843 --> 00:25:23.411
He's moving on faith. he's rewarding faith. he's near the bedside
00:25:23.478 --> 00:25:24.779
He's rewarding faith. he's near the bedside of the sick
00:25:24.846 --> 00:25:25.914
He's near the bedside of the sick and suffering soul.
00:25:25.981 --> 00:25:27.015
Of the sick and suffering soul. there's activity
00:25:27.082 --> 00:25:28.049
And suffering soul. there's activity going on in heaven that
00:25:28.116 --> 00:25:29.150

To his movement at the moment, and the heavens may seem silent,
